SLAYER’s KERRY KING: Limited Run Of 50 Handcrafted DEAN USA Guitars Available For $8,666 Each

Dean Guitars has released a limited run of 50 handcrafted USA guitars designed in collaboration with SLAYER guitarist Kerry King. Each USA Kerry King V Limited Edition 50 Pc guitar is priced at $8,666 and can be ordered from the Dean Guitars web site.

King joined Dean’s artist roster last month after previously working with B.C. Rich and ESP for his signature guitars.

“I’m super stoked to be part of the Dean Guitars family,” Kerry said of the partnership. “This has been an insane long time coming! Together we’re going to create some amazing guitars that Dean, SLAYER and Kerry King fans will be as excited as I am to play them. It’s gonna be a wild ride for years to come!“

Over the coming months, Dean Guitars will release product information outlining Kerry King’s signature Dean Guitars USA and import models.

Dean Guitars president and CEO Evan Rubinson said:
“We are thrilled to welcome one of the most iconic guitarists in the world to the Dean family. Our partnership with Kerry King couldn’t be a more perfect fit — a legendary metal guitar player and a legendary metal guitar company, collaborating to bring our fans something the world has never before seen.”
